Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2021 (contd.) Financial Statements GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals Limited 184 Provident Fund Provident fund contributions are made to a Trust administered by the Group. The Group has an obligation to make good the shortfall, if any, between the return from the investments of the Trust and the notified interest rate. The actuarial valuation method, carried out by an independent actuary, used for measuring the liability for provident fund is projected accrued benefit method. This approach determines the present value of the interest rate guarantee under three interest rate scenarios: base case scenario, rising interest rate scenario and falling interest rate scenario. The defined benefit obligation of the interest rate guarantee is set equal to the average of the present values determined under these scenarios in respect of accumulated provident fund contributions as at the valuation date. (c) Other Long Term Benefit Plans The liabilities for earned leave and sick leave are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. They are therefore measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method. The benefits are discounted using the market yields at the end of the reporting period that have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation. Re-measurements as a result of experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. (d) The expenditure on voluntary retirement schemes is charged to the statement of profit and loss in the year in which it is incurred. (e) Share Based Payment Arrangements In terms of a long-term incentive plan, the eligible members of the senior management are entitled to receive cash settled awards at the end of a three year ‘restricted period’, provided they remain in continuous employment with the Group for the aforesaid period. The value of such incentive is based on the price of shares of GlaxoSmithKline Plc, U.K. The fair value of the amount payable to employees in respect of long term incentive plan, which are settled in cash, is recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in liabilities, over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to payment. The liability is remeasured at each reporting date and at settlement date based on the fair value of the shares of GlaxoSmithKline Plc, U.K. Any changes in the liability are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. o) Investment property Property that is held for long-term rental yields or for capital appreciation or both, and that is not occupied by the Group, is classified as investment property. Investment property is measured initially at its cost, including related transaction costs and where applicable borrowing costs. Subsequent expenditure is capitalised to the assets carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are expensed when incurred. When part of an investment property is replaced, the carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. Based on technical evaluation the following is the best estimate of period over which investment property is depreciated on a straight-line basis.
